Workshops

Each of us is a unique soul, with a unique life path toward purposes. Though there are many ways we can bring this information to our conscious awareness, few are as direct and confirming as astrology. In this presentation, we will explore how this works. If you haven’t looked at astrology in many years, you may be surprised at how far it’s evolved and the subtlety, nuance and depth of it’s information.

When done well, astrology provides direct affirmations of your divine and mystical connection to all that is, healing insights into the past, and encouraging invitations toward new possibilities.

How were some of my greatest and earliest problems/sufferings probably chosen, in advance, as part of my life strategy?

Did my family and others form soul “contracts” with me before birth in order to help me (and them) along?

How can astrology help me and others heal?

How do I experience freedom of choice within this model of destiny?

How can I use this astrological information as a conscious tool toward further growth?

Case studies will be presented along with examples from birth charts of workshop participants. If you want to participate in this way, submit your full name, birth date, location and exact time (as on your birth certificate) to Barry@ChooseConsciousLiving.com at least 48 hours in advance of the workshop. You’ll be given a printed copy.

ASTROLOGY CLASSES
An 8-part course in evolutionary astrology

with Barry Kerr

Based on the four elements of fire, earth, air and water, we will build a matrix of relationships between elements, planets, nodes, Chiron, signs, houses and aspects. The focus will be on the positive spiritual intentions of the symbols for human evolution, individual and collective. Good for beginners and those with some familiarity who wish to go deeper. In each class, we will use our own birth charts and others to illustrate and explore the topics for that class. As basic understanding develops, we will include relationship astrology as time allows. Self-disclosure will be encouraged by creating a safe and sacred container for this group.

HOMEWORK: Assignments and exercises will be given and are optional. Of course the depth to which you learn, like many things, will be directly proportional to the time you put in on your own. Astrology is an intuitive language that requires thoughtful contemplation, assisted by meditative intention. Time devoted for this between classes will greatly enhance your learning.

MATERIALS: I will be supplying some of the materials as the course unfolds. You will be given a resource list once you register. I will have a lending library of astrology and spiritual books.

DISCLAIMER: I do not claim to be an expert in all areas of astrology. In fact, there are many astrological subjects, techniques and concepts of which my knowledge is quite limited. My skills are in reading birth charts and transits for personal growth within a context of spiritual evolution through multiple lives. Nor have I ever been interested in predicting events or fortunes, though I acknowledge there are astrologers who've had some success with that. When you have questions about things I am not proficient in, I will try to direct you to any resources that may be helpful to you.

PAYMENTS: Please pay for the entire 8 classes in advance. (let me know if this is a problem for you), You can pay online through PayPal at my web site here: http://chooseconsciousliving.com/payments.htm

or you can bring a check to the first class. Refunds will be given in full in case the course does not have enough students, but no refunds given after classes start.

Feel free to write with any questions or concerns.
I hope to hear from you soon.

2014 Calendar

A Course In Conscious Living

with Kristine Gay and Barry Kerr

December 14 - May 10

2nd Sunday of each month, 10am - 4pm

at Inner Essence Center in Madison, WI

Learn the art of Awakened Living as a Conscious Creator of your life!

A commitment to this group will change your life!

Join Barry Kerr and Kristine Gay in learning the art of awakened living as a conscious creator of your own life. Master your thoughts and emotional experiences to create higher vibrations of joy, love, inspiration, and happiness. Attract friends, partners, and experiences that enhance your life. This deeply experiential as well as educational opportunity will catalyze the birth of new possibilities in your life, at the same time releasing old wounds, patterns, and limitations that keep you stuck. Forming a safe environment of like-minded individuals to learn together creates a powerful synergy of possibility and support, and provides the means for you to practice the outward expression of your strengthened inner consciousness.

Here are some skills you will practice and strengthen:

Choose love over fear, in any moment.

Choose at-one-ment over separation, in your thoughts and heart.

Be more authentic, feel more integral, express your truth.

Remember empowerment in the face of apparent limitation or resistance.

Shift limiting beliefs and old energy patterns.

Access new energy and awareness that supports limitless possibilities.

Ground your divine, spiritual soul into your body.

FORMAT: Each month's group meeting will cover different aspects of living consciously, with an emphasis on experiential learning; both internal awareness guidances and interactive exercises with others. These will be accompanied by short presentations of concepts with questions, answers, and sharing. At times, Kristine and Barry will invite individuals to volunteer as subjects for demonstrating healing/growth concepts and techniques.

HANDOUTS & BOOKS: Independent reading assignments will be given prior to and during the course. Our group sessions will draw from these materials. Upon registration, you will be sent book titles and some handouts. Other handouts will be issued as the course proceeds.

Here’s what previous students have had to say several months later about A Course In Conscious Living:

“I benefit greatly from the course. Took me to the next place. “ - Carrie, Madison, WI

“It was such a good container for me to do some important inner work and to get clear about what I want. You held me through a very difficult time. Your guidance was instrumental in getting me in my new stride. “ – Regina, Madison, WI

"I highly recommend the Conscious Living course. It allowed me to deepen my understanding of what it means to TRULY live an enjoyable life as well as heal several relationships and love myself more. You won't regret the experience!" -Dan, Madison, WI

“Powerful! I’d do the course again.” - Jessica, Madison, WI

Wondering if you're ready? Answer these 12 questions.

Have you been on a path of spiritual growth for a while? Are you ready to be on an accelerated path of growth?

Are you interested in experiencing higher, expanded states of consciousness?

Is finding and living your higher purpose important to you?

Are you fairly open to the new? Are you willing to let go of those things that no longer serve your higher good, and are you willing to create those things that do?

Are you somewhat self-reliant and creative? Do you want to trust your inner guidance and seek to follow it with action?

Do you believe you create your own reality? Or are you open to learning how that is true?

Are you aware that you have a higher self and soul? Are you drawn to such things as meditation, learning how to channel, developing your psychic or clairvoyant abilities, or other things that expand your consciousness?

Is spiritual growth important to you and are you willing to devote time and energy to it every week?

Are you receiving inner guidance to create new things in your life and to put more time and energy into your higher path and purpose?

Are you learning how to deal with emotional issues that may come up as a result of being on a path of spiritual growth? Do you look for the good in every experience or willing to learn?

Are you sensitive to energy and/or are you open to learning more about subtle energies and how to work with them?

Are you interested in creating a wonderful, joyful, and abundant life?

If you answered "yes" to all these questions and feel ready to take the next step, then this is the class for you! Unlike online courses, in this course, you will benefit from the up close and personal attention that can only be had in the physical presence of experienced teachers. This is important for the kind of subtle energy healing and growth we are aiming for. Register now.

Profound insights into a relationship can be gained by studying the interactions between people’s individual birth charts. Two people, each with a unique set of planetary dynamics, create yet a third set of dynamics when relating to each other. How do others’ dynamics tend to support or challenge our own soul purpose? How do our personalities heal or provoke each other’s deep wounds and longings? How can astrology help us understand ourselves and others and create better relationships? Can we tell if a relationship is “right” for us? Can we measure compatibility?

Barry will explore these questions and more, giving examples of specific, practical insights that can change, improve or even save a relationship. Some previous understanding of astrology is helpful, but not necessary.

Barry will draw some examples from participants who volunteer to submit birth data in advance. If you would like to volunteer, please give the birth data of two people (one can be you): birth dates, exact birth times, birth locations.

About the Presenter: Barry Kerr, a certified soul-based astrologer, has 33 years of experience with an international clientele, including many medical professionals and alternative healers. He and Kristine Gay, a licensed psychotherapist, are owners/practitioners at Inner Essence Center in Madison. Both have extensive training in soul-guided healing of mind, body, heart and spiritual systems. They offer healing, coaching, therapy and astrology services.

Astrology is not just a collection of signs and meanings. Since ancient times, the zodiac has served as an archetypal "map" of the spiraling journey that humans take as we evolve toward and into an awakened consciousness. Whether the journey is through many lifetimes, one lifetime, or one year, the twelve signs of the zodiac, and their related planets, reflect the universal flow of experience and learning that we all encounter along the way.

Could it be that the biblical Book of Mark was written by astrologers as a tool to teach these lessons?

Why has astrology continued to appeal to humanity even as many in science and in churches have condemned it?

And what are the implications of this "map" for where we are at this time, individually and collectively?

Come spend an evening (afternoon?) with Barry as he takes you through the journey of the zodiac, spiritual growth and human evolution. For those with some knowledge of astrology, this will take you deeper, but previous knowledge of astrology is not required.

No registration required. If you have questions, you may contact Barry at asabovebarry@yahoo.com

Case studies will be presented along with examples from birth charts of workshop participants, if birth data is provided in advance and with the consent of the participant.Prerequisite: No previous experience with astrology is required.
Fee:: $30

About the Event: What are the planets telling us about this time in the evolution of the human spirit and specifically about your own unique role in it? Why did your soul choose to be here at such a time?

Using beginners language, explaining terminology and using visual illustrations, Barry will look at the historical patterns of human activity (political, art, science, technology, religion) that have shown up around the configurations of the slower, outer planets Pluto, Neptune, Uranus. He'll reveal how those planets and other factors have been drawing our awareness and actions toward this next shift in human consciousness….boy, is it big!

No previous experience with astrology is required.

* If you have a copy of your own astrology birth chart, bring it. Barry will use it to give you information on how these larger planetary configurations affect your specific life journey and consciousness in particular ways, at this time. If you don’t have a chart, send your birth stats (date, exact time, and location) to Barry at asabovebarry@yahoo.com at least 48 hours in advance of the workshop, and he will bring your chart to the workshop. Or bring your birth stats to the workshop and he’ll wing it.
